The Company’s Collection And Use Of Personal Data For purposes of this Policy, “Personal Data” means any information received by the Company from the EU or Switzerland, recorded in any form, which relates to a natural person who is identified in, or identifiable based on, the information received. The Company receives Personal Data about individuals in the EU and Switzerland, including current, former, and prospective employees of the Company’s clients located in the EU and Switzerland (“Client Employees”). The Company collects Personal Data about Client Employees from the Company’s clients and from the Client Employees, for example, when they take tests. This Personal Data includes Client Employees’ names, testing results, and native language. The Company uses this information to assist the Company’s clients with their employment-related decisions such as hiring, promoting, and developing individuals.

The Company’s Disclosure Of Personal Data The Company may disclose the Personal Data of individuals located in the EU and Switzerland, subject to written agreement, to authorized service providers which provide services related to the purposes for which the Company collects that Personal Data. For example, the Company contracts with third-party service providers that assist in the collection and assessment of the Personal Data. Additionally, the Company will disclose the Personal Data about Client Employees, subject to written agreement, to the Company’s client for whom the Personal Data was collected. The Company may be liable for the onward transfer of Personal Data to third parties.

The Company may be required to disclose, and may disclose, Personal Data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including for the purpose of meeting national security or law enforcement requirements.

The Company’s accountability for personal data that it receives in the United States under the Privacy Shield and subsequently transfers to a third party is described in the Privacy Shield Principles. In particular, the Company remains responsible and liable under the Privacy Shield Principles if third-party agents that it engages to process the personal data on its behalf do so in a manner inconsistent with the Principles, unless the Company proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

Choices For Limiting The Use And Disclosure Of Personal Data The Company or the Company’s client for whom Company processes the Personal Data will provide the opportunity for individuals to opt out from: (a) the disclosure of their Personal Data to a non-agent third party; and (b) the use of their Personal Data for purpose(s) that are materially different from the purpose(s) for which the Personal Data was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual.

The Company does not review notices provided by clients to EU individuals, or authorizations to the client from EU individuals, regarding Company’s processing of Personal Data to determine whether the notices or authorizations are in compliance with, or conflict with, applicable law or any policy or notice published by the client. The Company’s clients are responsible for providing instructions and authorizations that comply with their policies, notices, and applicable laws.

Individuals’ Right To Access Their Personal Data Upon request and except where the rights of persons other than the individual would be violated, the Company will grant individuals access to their Personal Data and permit individuals to correct, amend, or delete Personal Data that is inaccurate or incomplete or that is being processed in violation of the Privacy Shield Principles.
